Yearbook Yourself is a neat Flash website that lets you upload your picture and magically see what you'd look like if you were in the Class of 1950 - 1990.

Daly City's "Little Boxes"
My parents live in Daly City and was surprised that I never knew its historic nature. From dalycityhistory.org:
The Westlake section of Daly City is a prime example of the postwar American suburb. Attempting to keep pace with the fast-growing population of the Bay Area, developer Henry Doelger, who had built thousands of homes in San Francisco's Sunset District, purchased a huge tract of land in 1945 just south of the City. His vision for Westlake was a relatively new concept at the time: a pre-planned community where houses would be built along with shopping centers, schools.
I learned about this from the RetroRenovation blog where I also discovered that there is a Flickr pool and book -- all dedicated to Daly City's "Little Boxes".
